About the Item
19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph: Two Knights Jousting in Vibrant Heraldic Colours
This striking original hand-coloured lithograph, produced in 1842, vividly portrays a tense moment in a medieval-style jousting tournament. It originates from the esteemed publication *Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums* (The Knights’ Hall: A History of Chivalry), published in Stuttgart by Carl Hoffmann. The artistic direction was provided by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch, and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp contributed historical commentary, ensuring that the images faithfully represent the customs, attire, and grandeur of medieval European nobility.
In this particular scene, two fully armored knights charge towards each other, their lances crossing at the center. Each knight and horse is outfitted in lavishly coloured and patterned caparisons and armor, with heraldic symbols that hint at noble lineages. On the left, brilliant red and gold hues dominate, highlighted by an anchor emblem—a likely symbol of steadfast loyalty or maritime heritage. On the right, black and gold tones blend with a radiant sun motif, suggesting illumination, valor, or regal authority.
The artistry of the lithographer is evident in the meticulous shading and fine detailing, from the subtle curves of the horses’ flanks to the gleaming contours of polished steel armor. The hand-applied colouring has retained remarkable vibrancy, making the print visually arresting even after nearly two centuries.
In terms of condition, the lithograph remains in very good shape. Minor age toning and faint creasing attest to its authenticity, yet do not diminish the overall impact. This rare piece will be of great interest to collectors who appreciate historical art, medieval tournaments, heraldry, or equestrian themes. It offers a captivating window into the pageantry, artistry, and noble traditions that once defined the world of chivalry.
